This man is fascinating, and yet, humble and calm. The interviewer is also great, she knows how to extract the best from the guests, and has the same calm, collected energy. What a class in writing!
Speaking of "waxing poetic" the asides done in 1883 by the character, Elsa, are some of my favorite. The narration done by that actress along with the visuals with each of those moments are beautiful as a whole.
This was so good. I immediately thought of Madonna's "Candy Perfume Girl" as an example of Absence of Field. She said she wrote it using magnetic poetry and the song literally makes no sense: "Blue wish window seas Speak delicious fires…".
I always write like my characters would talk, according to their personalities, personal experiences, comfort zone levels in that moment and knowing when they feign towards other characters. They have their own little jargon too, not all of them but some do, because that's the most charming about them, their way of seeing the world around themselves and how to cope with all the anvils that life hurls at them in their general direction. I quite enjoy it a lot since most characters are recognized instantly by that without the narrator or another character saying the name of the other one out-loud 🤔 I guess I'm masterizing something but I never went to a writer class nor anything, and these videos makes me think of how much I learnt on my own by being writer without going to one single class about "how to writer".

It's interesting when he mentions Beethoven doing Jazz.. improvisation was more common in the past. Mozart improvised for his concerts, what he wrote down was so that others could play his works. It is with the invention of the gramophone that we begin to see it as a duty to follow what is written down 100%. In this way, we can compare and classify whether you are good or not by comparing. It's a little crazy because it kills the wonderful nerve that comes with being at a concert where it is the artist who unfolds in the present and allows himself to resonate with his audience. A bit like the difference between someone who does standup based on rounded jokes or someone who engages the audience. Prince had an improvisational approach to his concerts - it's Jazz when we go with a flow.
My fav part of this video was watching her attempt to do the 5 styles as he coached her through it so that we better understand how difficult & interesting it all is. I also love how he used the music metaphor because thats a language I feel I understand better & using these techniques in music was the first thing that came to mind subconsciously(I was thinking about how Yoko Ono makes absurbity into music lol but you also have songs that rely on repetitive hooks etc).
Every writing class, every writing teacher says, “Show Don’t Tell,” but Jack’s Method is the ONLY way I found through that maze. He used to make me recite his rules of “Image Moment.” There’s your clue. Image Moment Saves Writers Lives❤️❤️❤️
Shout out to the interviewer for her openness in trying something new in front of a master ✊☺️
Thanks Olivia!
yea the interviewer in these videos makes the MOST out of these conversations as much as she can which i really appreciate
For real tho
Proof that the memes were wrong to use the name “Karen” to describe tough to work with people😭
These are amazing videos. Thank you.
Thank you Corinna!
This was exciting to watch and helpful ❤
I want in his class.😮👏
I want to do these prompts with him! I love stuff like this!
How can you not love Jack Grapes!

Thank you! Keep an eye out for our next video with Jack coming this Tuesday at 5pm PST. It's powerful.
She's so smart and knows how to host this golden channel
this guy is something out of this world.....
This guy is old good school. Thanks for this video
Gotta love this guy. He deserves to be known for being so deep and method
Karen you are great. Hugs from Chile
She did great! She is the greatest interviewer I have ever heard!
i don't know what to do with this yet but that was amazing !
Great to see you find some value here Nicolas, thanks for watching!
My addition to this...don't just pay attention to artists and writers. Pay attention to life...you'll see amazing things. Write about them.
Goodness, a true master. I'm watching all his videos!
My favourite part was when he said artists talk to each other across time. Thank you so much for creating these interviews! Love from Oslo, Norway.
impressive improvisation from the man.
Jack Grape knows Art!
I love this. I've found Method Writing so so useful, he makes the writing process so accessible. More Jack Grapes please!!!

8:45-9:55 love how he brings the focus to the 'big picture' right here...Lewis Carroll Alice in Wonderland is a great example to 'study' read

Strong bud, this one. Love it.
Awesome
Whoa! It's like becoming a sponge of or looking at the framework across multiple disciplines - perhaps even outside of art itself.
Thank you Jack! Thank you Film Courage!
That was phenomenal.
Thanks for watching Joseph!
this is good knowledge its very useful for artist
AS YOU EXPLAIN IT, you are doing the triplets + changes.
Kudos, sir.
The Nonsense voice is like an Oblivion NPC. Steve Spiros is a god in that field. Imagine Jack Grapes reacting to Steve Spiros.
Jack has a vibe of Reggie from Surf's Up, but in positive sense.

This is superb!
Listen to Jack.... he's the best.

Love It!!!!!!!!!!
Need to buy his book
Such an inspiration! Love this video! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching DonnaLisa!
Life experience helps enormously, if you had exposure to a variety of social and cultural environments.
this guy! wow!! he sold two more copies just off of this interview!
reminds me of the song "Strawberry fields forever"
That was very cool.
Like this. Very helpful. 👌🏾
Mmmm, 4:47 to 5:17. Now, that's how use a word. That was awesome!
🔥 series!!! 🔥

Know Brock?
Wow, this is hard when you speak it. This reminds me of acting school..
This was oddly entertaining 😂
What was your favorite part of this video?
From beginning to end 😊
Evolution
I love the interviewer. She definitely improves the interviews.
I have a dog,
I have a dog.
I have a cat,
I have a cat,
My neighbour has a mouse.
Mindfuck lmao
I cheat! I watch your videos.
Is the song "Loser" absence of field? I always thought there was some meaning in there, but maybe I was just a monkey in the age of chimpanzees.
I just spilt muscle milk all over my favorite sweater I hate this life
5:20 Bob Dylan could do that 😂

Amateur writers that do not read the greats and do not appreciate other forms of art are essentially unarmed and ill-equipped to be writers.
